Our policies, plans and strategies - Tenancy strategy

Harborough District Council transferred its housing stock in December 2007 to a new Registered Provider (Seven Locks Housing) with the agreement of a majority of tenants who voted in favour of the proposed transfer. The purpose of this Tenancy Strategy is to provide guidance for Registered Providers who own social housing in Harborough District, about the approach that the Council wishes to see them take in framing their own tenancy policies, including local guidance on the use of the ‘affordable rent’ tenure of affordable housing. The Tenancy Strategy seeks to maintain a balance between providing security for tenants and ensuring provision of accommodation for home-seekers.
